Study summary
This clinical trial aims to find what different tests work best to find high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in the cervix or anus in patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Patients with HIV are at high risk of becoming infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) in the cervix or anus where it can turn into cancer over several years. HPV causes changes to the cervix and anus, known as HSIL. This means that there is an area of abnormal tissue on the top layers of the cervix or anus. It is considered cervical or anal cancer if the abnormality spreads down into the layers of tissue below the top. If found early, many cases of HSIL can be treated before turning into cancer. Screening for cervical or anal cancer detection or HSIL associated with HPV may result in earlier treatment, if necessary, for patients living with HIV.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Most efficient algorithm for detection of anogenital human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) — Up to 3 years
Will assess a screening algorithm with an optimal combination of: point of care high-risk (hr) HPV testing, extended hrHPV genotyping, cytology, progression markers protein E6 and S5 methylation score, to identify cervical and/or anal HSIL or cancer. Different contingency tables will be prepared to describe the statistical relationship between hrHPV infection and HSIL positive status. Using the Bayes Rule, the predicted values will the computed using the prevalence of HSIL positive (overall and per country), where prevalence is the probability of currently being HSIL positive regardless of the duration of time one has the disease. The positive Diagnostic Likelihood Ratios (DLR) and the Negative Diagnostic Likelihood Ratio will be computed to determine the best strategy combining sensitivity and specificity. The 95% confidence intervals of DLR+ will be computed using the log approach.
